"Serena you have to go to sleep your tired", said Zan sighing looking at Serena laying down on the bed still not sleeping.
He understood why, ever since they came back from thier honeymoon Serena has been racked with nighmares about Agent Brooks. He knew she was scared about thier babies but she needed to sleep.
"I'm not sleepy Zan", said Serena looking at him willing him to understand.
Zan sighed again.
"You are tired Serena I know you don't want to get nightmares but you not sleeping is not good for you or the babies, just lay down and sleep and I'll be there whenever something bad happens", siad Zan looking at his wife.
Serena nodded her head. She closed her eyes and for once this week since coming home to Roswell for the winter break she didn't have nightmares. She knew it had something to do with Zan, he somehow learned her t dreamwalk from Isabel and made it better.
The gang had decided to take a winter class in Roswell so it could put them ahead to graduate on time. Maria and Liz belly have grown bigger and they were looking beautiful. Serena kept her promise to take pictures of them.
"Alright Max place your hand around her belly", siad Serena one afternoon.
Max nodded his head and got behind Liz who was standing next ot his window with the sun shining in and placed both hands around her stomach draw her against his chest.
"Perfect", replied Serena snapping away with her camera.
She took various pictures of Liz and Max. Such as one with Max holding Liz bare breast in his hands or one with him kissing her growing belly with Liz stroking his hair. Serena did a set for Maria and Michael also. Both sets had similar poses. She developed them and within a week or so of taking the picutres Serena had them organized in photo album for each of them.
"Oh my god these are beautiful", cried Liz flipping through the photo album.
Serena nodded her head sipping her coffee.
"You and Max look good together", said Serena.
Maria flipped through hers and also got teary eyed.
"Serena thank you so much", siad Maria getting up and hugging her friend.
Serena smiled at that. Michael looked through the book after Maria and smiled at his sister's work. He noticed that she captured that love that he had for Maria and the baby in each photo. SHe was talented. If she wasn't going to medical school photgraphy would be a profession she should have thought of doing.
"I guess creativity runs in the family", said Max looking at the photos.
He was impressed with Serena's hard work. He especially loved the one with him kneeing down on the ground in front of iz kissing her belly and her face showing the love she had for him and stroking his hair. Serena captured the love that Liz showed towards him and his baby it was amazing really. Zan walked into the Evans' house then follwoed by Phillip and Diane. Zan was working at his father's law firm for this month helping Phillip. They carried in a few boxes of pizza.
"Mom look at these pictures that Serena had taken", said Max after the had all settled down.
Diane reached over taking the album and flipped through them with Phillip looking over her shouldrs
. "Oh Serena their so beautiful baby you have so much talent", said Diane admiring the pictures.
"Let me see that", said Zan taking the photo album from Michael's hands.
He flipped through them and smiled.
"Wow baby they turned out beautiful, I'm so proud of you", siad Zan kissing her forehead.
Serena just blushed at the praise. Serena had decided to after her honeymoon to go to stay with her parents for two weeks and then come home to Roswell for the rest of her winter break. She like the rest of them took one winter class. Isabel and the rest of the gang walked into the house them and greeted everyone then. Isabel took one look at the albums and begged Serena that when she was pregnant that she had to take pictures like that for her.
"Sure Isabel no problem", replied Serena sipping another cup fo coffee.
"Go to sleep Serena", sighed Zan again.
Getting her to sleep was like pulling teeth.
"I'm not tired", said Serena stubbornly even though she was yawning.
Zan looked at her and picked up his up his wife.
"Zan", siad Serena but she was too tired to fight.
Diane looked over at Serena worriedly.
"She still having nightmares?", asked Diane.
Max nodded his head. They all looked at the space that Serena left with Zan.
"She is afraid to go to sleep", said Ava sitting on Kyle's lap.
Kyle shook his head anger eating at him.
"My father has been keeping tabs on Agent Brooks so far nothing has come up", siad Kyle kissing Ava's forehead.
Michael sighed. He was angry too and tired. Last week they all heard Serena screaming from Zan's room and ran in to see Zan trying in vain to wake her up.
Flashback:
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh no leave me alone godd please", yelled Serena with tears slipping from her eyes.
Zan woke up from the screams. Serena woke up the whole house. Max was the first one to reach the door and walk in. When he reached there he saw his brother trying to wake up his wife. He felt his heart pounding. Liz walked in after followed in by Maria and Michael. They had decided to stay there that night instead with Maria's parents. Serena woke up then clutching Zan and crying.
"Zan Zan", was the only thing she kept repeating over and over again.
Diane and Phillip walked into the room also taking in the scene in front of them. Diane saw Serena shaking with sobs and her heart clenched at the picture. She grew to love the young woman like she was one of her own and to see her so scared moved her deeply. Diane walked over to the bed and touched her back. Serena looked up with tears flowing from her eyes and her jaw quivering. Diane looked at the beautiful girl that loved her son. Diane reached over and hugged her tightly. Serena sighed in Diane's embrace.
"it's going to be alright baby, no one will hurt my grandchildren, no one or they will be hell to pay", siad Diane.
Serena looked at the older woman and gave out a small laugh.
"I'll kick that jerk's ass myself", siad Diane making Serena smile and hug her tighter.
"I bet you would", said Serena hugging her.
Zan smiled at his mother and mouthed the wordsa Thanks. Diane nodded her head and brushed the hair away from Serena face.
"Go to sleep okay don't let him beat you", said Diane.
Max looked at this mother and was once again awe at her. liz smiled and held her husband's hand following the rest of them out of the door.
End of Flashback
"i hope these are just dreams and not something for real you know", said Ava
. "There real I saw them too and the torture that sick man did to Serena, go it makes me want to throw up", said Liz shuddering.
Max hugged her tightly and sighed. God could thier lifes get any more complicated and it did.
"Oh My god", they heard Serena and Zan yell at the same time.
Everyone ran to Zan's room and was shocked. There stood in front of them four teens about 14 or 15 years old of something like that.
"Who are you", asked Liz.
The oldest one looked up with his amber eyes and smiled, "Your son".
Liz eyes widen and everyone sucked in their breaths.
